Synopsis

Hulk #2 synopsis by Julio Molina-Muscara
Rating: 3 stars

On board of the new S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Commander Maria Hill shows Director Tony Stark (Iron Man) and She-Hulk a S.H.I.E.L.D. hand gun which could kill the Hulk, and matches the weapon used to assassinate the Abomination (last issue). If that were the case, the murderer stole the weapon from their armory.

Suddenly, a Hulk with red skin bursts through a wall and drags She-Hulk. Stark spreads the word that there’s an enemy on board and orders to lock down the ship. The Red Hulk beats She-Hulk and visits the power system. Looking for the red Hulk, Iron Man stumbles with Clay Quartermain, who is caring for Thunderbolt Ross. Ross tells that Leonard Samson heard some noises near the armory, the red Hulk appeared and attacked Ross.

Suddenly, the red Hulk attacks Iron Man, and both leave the Helicarrier. The red Hulk smashes Iron Man with a jet plane, and leaps away. And the Helicarrier is going down because the red Hulk torn out the main stabilization system.

Meanwhile, She-Hulk informs Iron Man that a computer virus deleted all S.H.I.E.L.D. files about the Hulk.

Iron Man, with the aid of Iron Man androids, holds the ship and crash land it on a New Jersey field.

Meanwhile, Rick Jones arrives in Death Valley, Nevada, to visit his old friend Bruce Banner (locked in the base). But the red Hulk attacks him. Rick turns into a blue Abomination-like creature that calls himself A-Bomb.

Review / Commentaries


Hulk #2 Review by (February 15, 2010)
The script is short, I was expecting much more from Loeb but so far it's been a disappointment. On the other hand, the art by McGuinness is very good.

Additional comment by Peter Silvestro 3/29/2018: Iron Man steers the falling Helicarrier to New Jersey as there is “a field out there with a history of this sort of thing.” This is a reference to Lakehurst, NJ, the site of the crash of the zeppelin Hindenburg on May 6, 1937; Tony even quotes newscaster Herbert Morrison's famous line “Oh, the humanity?”
